Dawes: California Folk-Rock, In The Studio

Soundcheck | Jun 24, 2013

The Los Angeles-based folk rock band Dawes plays songs from their new album, Stories Don't End in the Soundcheck studio.

Dawes is a group that is no stranger to the road -- their travels have taken them from the rolling hills of California, all the way to Rwanda. Along the way they’ve shared the stage with acts like Jackson Browne, Bob Dylan, and Alison Krauss. The band joins producer Gretta Cohn in a stripped-down setting to discuss their travels, the new album -- which was influenced in part by the work of writer, novelist and journalist Joan Didion -- and storytelling in song. Plus, they play live.

Set List:

• From A Window Seat

• Most People

• Side Effects
